VYNPS BASES: 3.7 (Cont'd) l The Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) is designed to filter and exhaust the Reactor, Building atmosphere to the stack during secondary containment isolation conditions, with a minimum release of radioactive materials from the Reactor Building to the environs. To insure that the standby gas treatment system will be effective in-removing radioactive contaminates from the Reactor Building air, the system is tested periodically to meet the intent of ANSI N510-1975.
Both standby gas treatment fans are designed to automatically start upon containment isolation and to maintain the Reactor Building i pressure to approximately a negative 0.15 inch water gauge pressure; all leakage should be in-leakage. Should the fan fail to start, the redundant alternate fan and filter system is designed to start automatically. Each of the two fans has 100% capacity. This substantiates the availability of the operable circuit and results in no added risk; thus, reactor operation or refueling operation can continue. If neither circuit is operable, the plant is brought to a condition where the system is not required.
When the reactor is in cold shutdown or refueling the drywell may be open and the Reactor Building becomes the only containment system.
During cold shutdown the probability and consequences of a DBA LOCA are substantially reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations in this mode. However, for other situations under which significant radioactive release can be postulated, such as during operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel, during l core alterations, or during movement of irradiated fuel in the secondary containment, operability of standby gas treatment is required. An auxiliary electrical power source for the purposes of Specification 3.7.B.1.b shall consist of either an Emergency Diosel Generator (EDG) or the Vernon Hydro tie line. Maintaining availability of the Vernon Hydro tie line as an alternative to one of the EDGs in this condition provides assurance that standby gas treatment can, if required, be operated without placing undue constraints on EDG maintenance availability. Inoperability of both I circuits of the SGTS or both EDGs during refueling operations I requires suspension of activities that represent a potential for i releasing radioactive material to the secondary containment, thus placing the plant in a condition that minimizes risk.
Use of the SGTS, without the fan and the 9 kW heater in operation, as a vent path during torus venting does not impact subsequent adsorber capability because of the very low flows and because humidity control is maintained by the standby 1 kW heaters, therefore operation in this manner does not accrue as operating time.
D. Pr ima ry Containment Isolation Valves Double isolation valver are provided on lines that penetrate the primary containment and communicate directly with the reactor vessel and on lines that penetrate the primary containment and communicate with the primary containment free space. Closure of one of the valves in each line would be sufficient to maintain the integrity of the pressure suppression system. Automatic initiation is required to minimize the potential leakage paths from the containment in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident.
4.7 STATION CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS A. Primary Containment System The water in the suppression chamber is used only for cooling in the event of an accident, i.e., it is not used for normal operation; therefore, a weekly check of the temperature and volume is adequate to assure that adequate heat removal capability is present.
Amendment No. 44, 49 166
, i VYNPS BASES: 37 (Cont'd) l The interiors of the drywell and suppression chamber are painted to prevent rusting. The inspection of the paint during each major j refueling outage, approximately once per year, assures the paint is intact. Experience with this type of paint at fossil fueled generating stations indicates that the inspection interval is adequate. 1 i
Because of the large volume and thermal capacity of the suppression I pool, the volume and temperature normally changes very slowly and monitoring these parameters daily is sufficient to establish any temperature trends. By requiring the suppression pool temperature to be continually monitored and frequently logged during periods of significant heat addition, the temperature trends will be closely followed so that appropriate action can be taken. The requirement for an external visual examination following any event where potentially high loadings could occur provides assurance that no significant damage was encountered. Particular attention should be focused on structural discontinuities in the vicinity of the relief valve discharge since these are expected to be the points of highest stress. Visual inspection of the suppression chamber including water line regions each refueling outage is adequate to detect any changes in the suppression chamber structures.
